Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Verbrennungsmotor-Anordnung mit einer Abgasrückführung, einem Ladeluft-Verdichter und einem Ladeluftkühler zwischen dem Verdichter und dem Verbrennungsmotor.The invention relates to an internal combustion engine arrangement with an exhaust gas recirculation, a charge air compressor and a charge air cooler between the compressor and the internal combustion engine.
Eine derartige Anordnung ist aus
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es demgegenüber, eine Verbrennungsmotor-Anordnung mit vereinfachter Ladeluftkühlung und insbesondere mit vereinfachter Kondensat-Abführung zu schaffen.The object of the invention is in contrast to provide an internal combustion engine arrangement with simplified charge air cooling and in particular with simplified condensate discharge.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1.This object is achieved by the features of
Die erfindungsgemäße Verbrennungsmotor-Anordnung weist einen Ladeluftkühler auf, bei dem am tiefsten Punkt seines Ladeluft-Luftkanals eine durch einen Öffnungsverschluss verschließbare Kondensat-Ablauföffnung vorgesehen ist, die durch eine Kondensatablauf-Leitung mit der Ladeluftleitung verbunden ist. Das Kondensat aus dem Ladeluftkühler wird also durch die Kondensat-Ablauföffnung und die Kondensatablauf-Leitung direkt in die Ladeluftleitung eingeleitet, die zwischen dem Ladeluftkühler und dem Verbrennungsmotor angeordnet ist. Das anfallende Kondensat wird also sofort wieder in die Ladeluft eingespeist.The internal combustion engine arrangement according to the invention has an intercooler, in which at the lowest point of its charge air duct a closable by an opening closure condensate discharge opening is provided which is connected by a condensate drain line with the charge air line. The condensate from the charge air cooler is thus introduced through the condensate discharge opening and the condensate drain line directly into the charge air line, which is arranged between the charge air cooler and the internal combustion engine. The resulting condensate is thus immediately fed back into the charge air.
Allerdings ist eine Einspeisung des Kondensates in die Ladeluft nicht bei jedem Betriebszustand des Verbrennungsmotors sinnvoll bzw. gewünscht. Durch eine entsprechende Steuerung des die Ablauföffnung verschließenden Öffnungsverschlusses kann die Einspeisung des Kondensates in die abgekühlte Ladeluft gesteuert bzw. geregelt werden. Auf diese Weise kann beispielsweise der Öffnungsverschluss die Ablauföffnung dann verschließen, wenn der Verbrennungsmotor noch nicht seine Betriebstemperatur erreicht hat, wenn eine bestimmte Grenzdrehzahl des Verbrennungsmotors unterschritten wird, wenn bestimmte Druckverhältnisse oder Ladeluft-Flussgeschwindigkeiten unter- bzw. überschritten werden etc. Erst eine Steuerung des Kondensatablaufes ermöglicht die Einspeisung des Kondensates in die Ladeluftleitung zwischen dem Ladeluftkühler und dem Verbrennungsmotor. Auf diese Weise kann die Entsorgung des Kondensats auf sehr einfache kosten- und platzsparende Weise realisiert werden.However, feeding the condensate into the charge air is not sensible or desired in every operating state of the internal combustion engine. By an appropriate control of the drain opening occlusive opening closure the feeding of the condensate can be controlled or regulated in the cooled charge air. In this way, for example, the opening closure the drain opening then close when the engine has not yet reached its operating temperature, when a certain limit speed of the engine is exceeded, if certain pressure ratios or charge air flow rates are exceeded or exceeded, etc. Only a control of Condensate drain allows the condensate to be fed into the charge air duct between the intercooler and the internal combustion engine. In this way, the disposal of the condensate can be realized in a very simple cost and space saving manner.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung ist im Verlauf der Ladeluftleitung eine Drosselklappe zwischen dem Ladeluftkühler und dem Verbrennungsmotor angeordnet, wobei die Kondensat-Ablaufleitung, in Strömungsrichtung der Ladeluft gesehen, hinter der Drosselklappe in die Ladeluftleitung mündet, so dass die Drosselklappe durch die Kondensatleitung kurzgeschlossen wird, wenn der die Ablauföffnung verschließende Öffnungsverschluss in seiner Öffnungsposition steht. Bei geöffnetem Öffnungsverschluss bildet die Kondensatablauf-Leitung einen Kurzschluss der Drosselklappe. Dieser Kurzschluss weist im Vergleich zu der Ladeluftleitung nur einen kleinen Querschnitt auf. Wird der wirksame Querschnitt der Ladeluftleitung jedoch bei geschlossener Drosselklappe entsprechend klein, ist der Querschnitt der Ladeluftleitung im Verhältnis so erheblich, dass bei geöffneter Ablauföffnung der hierdurch gebildete Kurzschluss eine Störung des Motorlaufes verursachen würde. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch umgangen werden, dass der Öffnungsverschluss der Kondensat-Ablauföffnung mechanisch mit der Drosselklappe gekoppelt ist, oder abhängig von der Drosselklappenposition gesteuert wird.According to a preferred embodiment, a throttle valve between the charge air cooler and the engine is arranged in the course of the charge air line, the condensate drain line, seen in the flow direction of the charge air, opens behind the throttle in the charge air line, so that the throttle valve is short-circuited by the condensate line, if the outlet opening occluding the closure opening is in its open position. When the opening is open, the condensate drain line forms a short circuit of the throttle. This short circuit has only a small cross section compared to the charge air line. However, if the effective cross-section of the charge air line is correspondingly small when the throttle valve is closed, the cross-section of the charge air line is so significant in proportion that the short circuit formed thereby would cause a malfunction of the engine when the drain opening is open. This can be avoided, for example, by the fact that the opening closure of the condensate discharge opening is mechanically coupled to the throttle valve, or is controlled depending on the throttle position.
Grundsätzlich kann der Kondensat-Anfall in dem Ladeluftkühler dadurch erheblich reduziert werden, dass in der Abgasrückführung, insbesondere in der Niederdruck-Abgasrückführung, ein Abgasrückführungs-Kühler vorgesehen ist, der das zurückgeführte Abgas kühlt. Vorzugweise weist die Verbrennungsmotor-Anordnung jedoch eine Abgasrückführung auf, die keinen Abgasrückführungs-Kühler aufweist. Das zurückgeführte Abgas wird erst nach seiner Verdichtung in dem Ladeluft-Verdichter in dem Ladeluftkühler abgekühlt. Mit einer derartigen Anordnung wird ein Kühler im Verlauf der Abgasrückführung eingespart, wodurch erhebliche Kosten, Gewicht und Bauraum eingespart werden. Allerdings fallen bei einer derartigen Anordnung in dem Ladeluftkühler erhebliche Mengen an Kondensat an. Bei Betrieb mit mittlerer oder hoher Last, das heißt, bei großen Ladeluftmengen und relativ hohen Ladeluft-Temperaturen, spielen auch größere Kondensatmengen, die hinter dem Ladeluftkühler in die Ladeluft eingespeist werden für den Betrieb des Verbrennungsmotors keine Rolle. Allerdings ist unbedingt zu vermeiden, dass der Verbrennungsmotor bei niedrigen Drehzahlen und niedriger Last, beispielsweise im Leerlauf, mit hohen Kondensatmengen, das heißt, mit einer hohen Feuchtigkeit in der Ladeluft belastet wird. Hierdurch würde der Verbrennungsprozess im Verbrennungsmotor erheblich verschlechtert. Mit der Kombination einer Niederdruck-Abgasrückführung ohne einen Abgasrückführungs- Kühler mit einem Ladeluftkühler-Kondensatablauf, der in die Ladeluftleitung mündet, wird eine Anordnung geschaffen, die die Ladeluftkühlung erheblich vereinfacht, und gleichzeitig den Abfluss der in dem Ladeluftkühler anfallenden Kondensatmengen durch die mit dem Öffnungsverschluss bei Bedarf verschließbare Kondensat-Ablauföffnung derart steuert, dass das Kondensat auf konstruktiv sehr einfache Weise in die Ladeluftleitung zwischen dem Ladeluftkühler und dem Verbrennungsmotor eingeleitet wird.In principle, the condensate attack in the charge air cooler can be significantly reduced by providing an exhaust gas recirculation cooler in the exhaust gas recirculation, in particular in the low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation, which supplies the recirculated exhaust gas cools. Preferably, however, the internal combustion engine arrangement has an exhaust gas recirculation, which has no exhaust gas recirculation cooler. The recirculated exhaust gas is cooled only after its compression in the charge air compressor in the intercooler. With such an arrangement, a cooler is saved in the course of the exhaust gas recirculation, whereby significant costs, weight and space can be saved. However, fall in such an arrangement in the intercooler considerable amounts of condensate. When operating with medium or high load, that is, with large charge air quantities and relatively high charge air temperatures, even larger amounts of condensate, which are fed into the charge air behind the intercooler for the operation of the internal combustion engine is irrelevant. However, it is absolutely necessary to avoid that the combustion engine is loaded with high condensate quantities, that is, with high moisture in the charge air, at low speeds and low load, for example when idling. This would significantly deteriorate the combustion process in the internal combustion engine. With the combination of a low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation without an exhaust gas recirculation cooler with a charge air cooler condensate drain, which opens into the charge air line, an arrangement is created, which greatly simplifies the charge air cooling, and at the same time the outflow of condensate in the charge air cooler condensate through the with the opening closure if necessary closable condensate discharge opening controls such that the condensate is introduced in a structurally very simple manner in the charge air line between the charge air cooler and the internal combustion engine.
Der Öffnungsverschluss kann beispielsweise elektrisch angetrieben sein, so dass der Öffnungsverschluss elektrisch durch eine Motorsteuerung gesteuert werden kann, wobei die Motorsteuerung ein Steuerelement für den Öffnungsverschluss bildet. Als Steuerelement kann jedoch grundsätzlich auch ein pneumatisches Antriebselement dienen. Als Steuerelement kann alternativ auch ein thermisches Antriebselement dienen, beispielsweise eine Bimetallfeder u.Ä. Ein derartiges thermisches Steuerelement würde den Öffnungsverschluss erst oberhalb einer bestimmten Mindesttemperatur öffnen.For example, the opening shutter may be electrically driven so that the opening shutter may be electrically controlled by a motor controller, the motor controller forming a control for opening the shutter. As a control, however, can in principle also serve a pneumatic drive element. As a control can alternatively serve a thermal drive element, such as a bimetallic spring u.Ä. Such a thermal control would open the port closure only above a certain minimum temperature.
